Yes, I know that. No need to ask. š I've been reading quite a lot for a long time. And they've never conquered me completely! š I'm too curious, too inquisitive.

You're right. But my mind is a bit of a mess here...
I'm exhausted, tired of fighting to accept silly rules by crazy people and their followers until I was able to run away.
My wife's mother is an old JW and my wife doesn't want to disappoint her in her last years...
Our younger daughter is dating a JW boy and they really don't care about what's right or wrong. It's too much trouble and not emotional and socially good for them now...
And I'm in the middle of all this mess...

Do not dwell on what you don't like.
@TBK
You're right. The problem is the feeling that, even though I've left, the WT still has its claws on those I love and still controls part of our lives.

Hi Deeno!
Welcome! I'm very happy for you. Now you're free and you'll be able to decide what to do with your own life!
Even if you have to face some issues (everybody has), it's worth it!
Best wishes!

Hi everybody!
The worst part of my experience of getting rid of the shackles of WT is not the shunning. I can live with that. If people don't want to talk to me, there are many more who do! That's how you know who your friends really are! The worst part is when your own family, wife and daughter, keep wanting to waste their time, family time, attending meetings and not helping doing something as a family and don't allow you to be the Head of a good Christian family. This is what I really struggle with.
Even though I'm trying to take it calmly, it's really tough!
I know that it all results from their fear of being shunned and put aside if they leave. But they don't want to because of emotional and social reasons, not because of their love for God.
This is just sad...

What Name Does the New Testament Emphasize - Jehovah or Jesus?
by Vanderhoven7 init seems to me scripturally speaking, that jehovah's witnesses are emphasizing the wrong name.. it should be jesus, not jehovah.
who is the way, the truth and the life?
(john 14:6).

That's the reason why God's name doesn't appear anywhere in the 5000 copies of the NT, except for two occurrences of the short form in Revelation. Only in the NWT was it "artificially" introduced about 237 times, if I remember correctly. Even so, the name Jesus appears more than 300 times, again, if I'm not mistaken. This says quite a lot about the subject!
